The video might be a little confusing to certain players, especially since the events that are being referenced in the sea shanty song that’s being sung by both Jaina and the ethereal ghosts actually occurred way back in Warcraft III’s expansion, ‘The Frozen Throne,’ (all the way back in 2003). The main thing to take note of, however, is that the ship that Jaina brings up from the depths is implied to be the galleon that her father sailed on so many years ago. This is pretty important for both the literal implications that Jaina intends to sail to Kul Tiras to try and recruit the local populace onto the Alliance’s side in preparation of the bubbling conflict with the Horde, something that is almost certainly going to escalate the problem, hence why she’s being called a ‘Warbringer.’ But perhaps more importantly, it’s a kind of symbolic image that Jaina has finally come to understand her father’s way of thinking, something she rejected years ago and what was ultimately the action that sealed his death. Considering her father wanted to destroy all that the Horde stood for, the implications are worrying.

In any case, we still have two shorts remaining before the expansion’s release, one starring the even more controversial ‘Banshee Queen’ Sylvanas Windrunner and the unquestionably diabolic Azshara. If I was Jaina, I’d feel pretty worried being placed in any grouping involving those two…
